mmanuel Withers is a Soul Singer, he’s a lover of art, a lover of music…” is how Emmanuel describes himself. A late bloomer in his musical pursuit, Emmanuel actually began writing rhymes and rapping at age 12; he wrote, produced, and recorded his own songs. Emmanuel discovered that not only could he rap, but he could also sing, when a young lady heard a hook that he referenced for her to sing, urged him to sing his own music. He was 16, and her words planted a seed in Emmanuel that he cultivated for the next several years. Emmanuel developed his musicianship by studying vocal legends of the past such as Russell Thompkins Jr., of the Stylistics, Bill Kenny, and Sam Cooke, just to name a few. Born to a gifted mother in her own right -an accomplished Pianist & Dramatic Soprano – Emmanuel was destined to encompass an intrinsic vocal gift that encapsulates his listeners in a musical Kaleidoscope filled with emotion, passion, and style. Emmanuel’s “Neo-Classic” style draws soul and authenticity from the great classic artists of yesterday while invoking a silky tone and controlled edge that sets him apart as a vocal force… Emmanuel Withers is a musical experience reminiscent of a time when music held a high standard of artistry, while resonating the creativity that encompasses the ingredients of a legend in music.
